I’m excited to announce my new exhibit: INVISIBLE LIGHT: THE WORLD IN INFRARED opening today!

I can’t say strongly enough how much I appreciate working with the Verve Gallery of Photography. They are the best!

I hope you will be able to see the show in person, as prints are best seen on paper glory. However, if that isn’t possible, I hope you will take a look at the 32 images online.

NEVADA WIER – Invisible Light: The World in Infrared

September 6 – November 2, 2013

Opening reception: Friday, September 27, 2013, 5–7 p.m.

Nevada Wier, a Santa Fe resident, is an award-winning photographer and instructor specializing in capturing images from the remotest corners of the globe and the cultures that inhabit them. Her journeys have taken her throughout Southeast Asia; to India, China, Nepal and Central Mongolia; and to New Zealand and South America.

Nevada has had two previous exhibitions here at VERVE Gallery: A Nomadic Vision: 25 Years in January 2008. Her first show was a retrospective of her first 25 years as a photographer. Her Outer India exhibition in 2010 focused on images of the cultures found in the remote areas at India’s borders.

Nevada brings a completely novel perspective in her images from this new body of work, Invisible Light: The World in Infrared. This is how she describes the work:

“Our visual familiarity with the world we live in is limited to colors in the visible spectrum. Beyond what our eyes can see lies the iridescent world of the infrared (IR) spectrum. Six years ago I began exploring the challenge of making the invisible visible: photographing unusual places using the unusual, haunting light of infrared. The resulting photographs are truly images in a different light.

I had a magnificent opening last Friday night at the Verve Galleryhttp://www.santafephotogallery.com. Over 350 people attended; a new benchmark for Verve openings. Saturday over 120 people attended a one hour gallery talk. The show is up until March 8th, I hope all of you can visit at some point. Happy Trails! nevada
